Forged Through the Fire is the amazing journey of Dr. Mark McDonough’s life experiences. As a young child, Mark suffered from Gullain-Barre syndrome. Then, on one fateful day in 1976, when he was 17 and at home with his brothers and mother, their house caught on fire. Mark struggled to rescue each of his family members. Things did not turn out as he had hoped, and Mark was burned all over parts of his body.
In Forged Through the Fire, Mark shares, in a very personal way, his journey, tragedies and triumphs as he recovers from the illness as a young child, losing family members in a fire, the challenges of being a burn victim, eventually the challenges of becoming a doctor, losing a brother to suicide, overcoming alcohol addiction, and finally the challenges of losing a close friend who was performing at a concert in Florida.
Mark shares a real story with many ups and downs. To the reader who has a weak stomach: you might want to be a little careful with the graphic details of the healing after skin graphs. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought Mark did a great job sharing his story. This is a testimony to strength and courage and encouragement. It was enthralling. I was given a free copy by the publisher from my honest review which I am happy to do.
